TASTING NOTES FOR Chrismont La Zona Arneis 2022

🍷 Appearance
Pale straw with subtle green hues. Bright and fresh, showing classic cool-climate vibrancy.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and aromatic, with apple, pear and pawpaw alongside delicate citrus blossom. Fresh, lightly floral and very inviting.

👅 Palate
Crisp and lively, delivering flavours of honeydew melon and pineapple with a bright citrus edge. Clean and refreshing with excellent fruit purity.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Light to medium-bodied with a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel. The finish is crisp, dry and zesty, making it highly drinkable and food-friendly.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic King Valley Arneis—fresh, aromatic and dry. Known as the “little rascal” in Italy, this variety thrives in the region, producing a vibrant, aperitif-style wine with bright acidity and subtle texture.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with scallops, seafood, light pasta, salads or antipasto. Also excellent with fresh cheeses or as a refreshing aperitif.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A crisp, vibrant Arneis—fresh, zesty and beautifully drinkable.
Perfect for mixed dozens and a great alternative white when you want something a little different but still crowd-friendly.

Cheers
